Learn Paragon In Public Schools "As a result of competitive tests, Paragon Shorthand was unanimously adopted as the exclusive system for the Atlanta High Schools. The classes we have already grad. uated in Paragon are by far the best we have turned out during my twelve years' connection with the schools."W. C. LowE, Head of the Shorthand Departments, 18 Avery Drive, Atlanta, Ga. Paragon is also being taught in the High Schools of Alton, Ill., Lafayette, Ind., Johnstown, Pa., and elsewhere. In Big Corporations "I am getting along fine with Paragon Shorthand. It is all you claim for it. It is easy to write, and as for speed-there's no limit."-JOHN WALLER, JR., Standard Oil Company, Sugar Creek, Mo. By Business Men "I am using Paragon Shorthand in making my notes in the daily routine of the work. It is of incalculable help in aiding me in making my own notes of private business matters relating to my work in auditing, and I wish I had taken it up long since."-JOHN F. CAHILL, Auditor. Florence Electric Light & Utilities Co., Florence, S. C. Y you OU know how often you have wished that you could write shorthand. You realized what it meant to busy executives and to business beginners-in efficiency, advancement and increased earning power. But like thousands of others you dreaded the long, weary months of study, the memory tax, the mental strain and the high cost, in time and money, of the old systems. Now you can have your wish. Because, all that you dreaded is done away with in the Paragon Method of Shorthand. The entire system consists of The Paragon Alphabet Twenty-six simple word-signs; Six prefix abbreviations; One general rule for contractions. THAT IS ALL. The simple explanations and exercises are divided into seven lessons, each of which you can grasp in one evening. Speed will develop pleasantly as you make daily use of your quickly acquired knowledge. This is the Paragon System. In 7 evenings you can easily learn it all. See for yourself how perfectly simple it is. Stop right here and study the specimen lessons at the right. Now you know how easy it will be for you to learn Paragon and how quickly you will be equipped with this great modern instrument of Efficiency. Thousands of young, ambitious men and women who have failed to learn the old, complicated forms of shorthand have learned Paragon with ease. They have since become court stenographers, reporters, assistants to business heads and in many cases executives of prominent concerns and institutions. Thousands of grateful letters now in our files attest these facts. Those printed at the left are typical. Paragon writers are all over the world, in England, Continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South America, Canal Zone, China, Philippine Islands and wherever English is spoken. Paragon is used in the offices of the largest firms and corporations in the world, such as Standard Oil Company, United States Steel Corporation and the great Railway Systems. You have reached the point where you must know shorthand to do yourself justice and compete with others—as a busy executive or as a beginner in business. You know how it is. Two good men apply for a position-one knows shorthand and the other does not the shorthand man wins every time. Remember how many of the biggest men in America got their start because they could write shorthand-Frank A. Vanderlip, George B. Cortelyou, William Loeb, Jr., Edward Bok and other men of highest achievement. Shorthand Writers Wanted Never before have American business and the Government at Washington felt so keenly the shortage of capable shorthand writers. You see Uncle Sam's appeal on the screen of the movies, in the news columns of the daily papers, on posters in public build For the longhand m, which is made of 7 strokes, you use this one horizontal stroke Therefore, 1 would be Me. Now continue the E across the M, so as to add D-thus and you will have Med. Now add the large circle for O, and you will have (medo), which is Meadow, with the silent A and W omitted. You now have 5 of the characters. There are only 26 in all. Then you memorize 26 simple word-signs, 6 prefix abbreviations and one rule of contractions. That is all. ings. Big business houses are looking everywhere for shorthand writers and are ready to pay any salary within reason to get the service they must have. Sal aries are steadily advancing-and yet the demand for shorthand writers has not been supplied. Speed, Simplicity and Accuracy are demanded of the shorthand writer by presentday business. With Paragon you can write without mental friction-no complicated rules to remember, no "lines" to watch, no heavy and light "shading," only 26 simple word-signs, no tedious memorizing, no con fusion of meanings through the old elimination of vowels. Paragon notes never get "cold"; they are just as easy to read after 10 years as after 10 minutes. Our records show that in addition to the thousands of young men and women who need shorthand as a help in their business careers, other thousands-business men, professional men, students, clergymen and literary folk-would like to know Paragon Shorthand as a time-saving convenience. Still others-fathers and mothers-would like to give their sons and daughters this wonderful advantage in order that they may be able to be self-supporting any time it may be necessary; Many of these persons who have not a direct need for shorthand but want it as an instrument of efficiency and a daily time saver would buy the complete course of Paragon Shorthand at a popular selling price. Our New Price $5 Think of it. For $5 you can have a complete education in shorthand, a life-long help-not only for your self but for your wife or children or any other relative.
